Strengthen the army and strengthen the country!

Yang Yue naturally knows this truth.

"Wo Longsheng, I have my own ideas about border defense, if you don't relax, go to the northern Xinjiang to take me to inspect and inspect the three armies."

"Yes!"

Wolong was born as the head of the jaw.

The economy is strong, the people benefit, only the military force is strong, the Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong, the battlefield is invincible, what the emperor thinks, what he wants, can be gradually realized.

At this time, Yang Yue got up and said loudly: "The frontline war is going well, the country is renewed, you must not slack off, at the end of winter, everyone will strive to have a safe year."

"Yes!"

.........

The stars move, winter goes to spring, and months pass.

At the beginning of spring, the king of Shu successively sent back good news from the front line, and the affairs of the west were basically worry-free.

In the territory of Datang, commerce and academies have developed rapidly and expanded.

A thriving atmosphere.

After the Spring Festival, many young officials were recruited in the imperial court to fill the vacancies in various places.

Everything seems to be developing in a predetermined direction according to Yang Yue's expectations.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

After the spring, the southern officials successively wrote to the south of the Yangtze River East Province and Jiangnan West Road, floods occurred one after another, the river was ruptured, the flood poured into the city, the fertile land was destroyed, and the people suffered.

The northern provinces also sent back news that there was a serious drought in Hebei Province, Hedong Province, Khitan Province, and Turkic territory, the seedlings withered, the earth dried up, and the people lacked water.

In the middle of summer, the situation of flooding in the south and drought in the north of the Tang Dynasty became more and more serious, and the court had to send officials from the Ministry of Industry to various places to solve the flood and drought!

Local officials, according to the orders of the court, continuously allocated grain, gold and silver from the government treasury, actively flooded and waterlogged, built canals, irrigated agriculture and mulberry, and rescued the people.

The disaster in Datang was serious, and Yang Yue, who was beaten, was caught off guard, even if he was full of money and food, he still had to tighten his belt and try to tide over the difficulties.

As a result, fiscal spending has been weakened, and money and food have been spent on disaster relief.

There was no peasant uprising in the provinces, but on the contrary, they actively solved the problem under the leadership of the officials.

In the northern steppes, the problems of the Khitan and Turkic are unexpectedly serious.

From early spring to midsummer, the grassland has not fallen, large grasslands have withered, water sources have dried up, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep have starved to death and died of thirst.

Even though the officials of the Argus faction tried to solve the problem, the problem was not alleviated as the water source dried up.

On a hot summer day, the scorching sun shines on the ground!

The green grass of the past has now become yellow, and in the dead grass, you can see the corpses of cattle and sheep from time to time.

Turkic, royal court!

In the sweat tent, Agus drank ice water to cool off, his face was vicissitudes, his long hair was gray, and he was much older than before.

A pair of shining eyes stared at the cronies in the tent with gloomy faces, and asked, "Wen Boyan, how is it, are the losses of the tribes under control?"

There is no pasture, there is no water source, many cattle, sheep and horses of various tribes have died, and even the lives of the tribesmen have been threatened.

This made Argus extremely depressed.

In the first two years, Yang Yue was harmed, and the tribe had no harvest!

In the past two years, the tribe has managed to accumulate some food, but it has encountered a severe drought.

The tribal situation is back to the bitter days of a few years ago.

As the king of Khan, his prestige was threatened.

"King Khan, this year's drought is very serious, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty has also suffered heavy losses, at present, the drought of the tribes is still not solved, if it doesn't rain again, I am afraid that the food accumulated in my department in two years will be consumed!"

Wen Boyan said worriedly.

In the grasslands, there were frequent droughts, which he had seen before, but never as severe as this year.

The scope of the impact is wide and the influence is far-reaching, the Tang Dynasty, the Turks, the Khitan, and the power of the country may not be easily resolved.

Agus was known to be ambitious, but he could not withstand the blows of natural disasters**, and for several years, the Turkic power did not increase, but declined.

Still not resolved?

Agus muttered in disappointment and asked, "Anthony, did you take the opportunity to raise the price of food?"

A drought completely disrupted his deployment, ruining the tribe's two-year preparations.

At present, the only source of food for the Turks is to rely on Sassanid, and the right Xian king, and the right valley Li king to fight in Tibet.

In this regard, there must be no accidents.

"King Khan, the south and north of the Tang Dynasty are flooded, and the losses are even more heavy, Anthony wants to take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, but the Tang merchants are strong, and they also take the opportunity to raise the prices of silk, porcelain, tea, paper, pigments, sugar, etc., forcing Anthony to give up the idea of raising prices!"

Wen Boyan replied, the worry in his face was not eliminated, and reported: "King Khan, the Tang Dynasty and the Sassanid have close contacts, and the two sides exchange a lot of goods, and most of the grain from the west flows into the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

If it still doesn't rain for half a month, the cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe will be killed and injured countless times, and the tribesmen will become a problem to survive the winter.

"Brother Wang, Mr. Wen is reasonable, we can't wait any longer, it doesn't rain for several months, the tribes have suffered serious losses, the Tang family is thicker than us, the landlord's family has surplus grain, and the generals of all departments are looking forward to going south?"

The Iran Khan supported the proposal to lead his army south to fight, and the grain, cattle, sheep, horses, and drinking water of the tribes were all reduced.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to wave the army south.

Snatch enough food, gold and silver from the Tang Dynasty to ensure that the tribe survives the difficulties safely.

Otherwise, the cold winter will come, which may cause extinction to the Turks.

Hearing this, Agus looked at Wen Boyan and Yiran Khan, and when he pondered for a while, he asked: "King Li, King Youxian is leading troops to fight in Tibet, at present, the army is progressing smoothly, and the cattle, sheep, and grain sent back can't help the tribe tide over the difficulties?"

From the bottom of his heart, Agus didn't want to tear his face with Datang.

Although the drought was severe, causing serious harm to the tribe, after the tribe formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, the Sassanid grain and the plunder in Tibet also helped the tribe tide over the difficulties.

Once it suddenly broke with the Tang Dynasty, Sassanid was afraid that it would no longer sell grain to the Turks, and the Tang army and the Turkic army would also break up in Tibet, and the tribal sources of money and food would be suddenly cut off, and they would fall into disputes with the Tang Dynasty in the territory of Tibet.

This was even worse for the Turks, who were suffering from drought.

Moreover, as long as they survive the drought and continue to trade with the Sassanids, the grain, gold and silver plundered by the Right Sage King and the Right Valley Liking will quickly make up for the losses of the tribe.

The Turkic recovery is just around the corner!

Wen Boyan, Yan Marching, and Yiran Khan knew what Agus was thinking, and they also supported the Turkic campaign in Tibet, but they had to consider the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, when there were droughts and floods in Datang, they would usually deal with them themselves and bear the losses caused by floods and droughts.

Since Yang Yue ascended the throne, the Tang army has been fighting everywhere and is now becoming more and more aggressive and aggressive.

When the two sides encountered drought at the same time, the Turks did not invade the Tang Dynasty, and the idea of plundering in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty was likely to fall into the ground and take the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition to threaten the Turks.

An extremely aggressive king like Yang Yue, they had to be on guard.

"King Khan, Yang Yue is not an idle person, send the King of Shu to Tubo to fight, I am afraid that I hope for a quick victory, if the threat of the Tang Dynasty is solved, what to do next, it is already very obvious, the leaders of the tribes, the generals, worried that the Tang army will occupy Tubo, after the Tang Dynasty has overcome the difficulties, Yang Yue took the lead in taking the Turks.

Besides, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, the gold and silver stored in the Tai Warehouse, and the grain far exceeded that of our department, and Yang Yue had long regarded the tribe as a thorn in the flesh in his eyes, and most of them would take the opportunity to fall into the well." Yan marched to Agus and replied.

"Yes, Brother Wang, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty and the Sassanid business contacts have been close, if the time is ripe, the Sassanid quells the internal rebellion, it is very likely that both of them will shift their attention to the tribe at the same time, at that time, the Turks will definitely encounter the east and west, time is not waiting, Brother Wang must not hesitate!" Iran Khan said.

He had come into contact with the Sassanid merchants, and their attitude towards the Turkic merchants was very different from that of the Tang Dynasty, not only in terms of commercial alliances, but also in terms of military alliances.
